Guys,

I got busted this morning hunting over corn. I have my thoughts about it and the topic of baiting but right now it really doesn't matter. I'm just trying to spread the word to be careful. I'm pretty sure my hunting days in TN are over. Without the corn, I don't have any interest in hunting.
 
R U SERIOUS??? If I'm reading correctly, it sounds like you got caught hunting ILLEGALLY and came on TnDeer to spread the word??? Surely not
 
If you just poured some corn out on the ground then you probably should be through, unless their is more to the story.

I'm only telling people to be carefull. With all the corn that gets sold, I'm sure that I not the only one that does it. Before corn, I saw around 5 deer a year and about lost interest in hunting. When I started hunting with corn, I saw around 5 a day. Whether or not you agree, without baiting, I'm not sure that I can find enough deer to keep me interested.

Sounds to me like you need to learn to Scout, then hunt.
 
When the make it legal you will find at least 50 % of people will do it. I will buy it by the truck load lol
 
I have had times I didnt see many deer during the year, but mainly because I didnt have time to scout becasuse of my traveling,
but the last 5 years I have averaged 4 deer in a season while living in Indiana. Now that Im back in the great state of TN
I can go back to one of my spots close to Dale Hollow along with scouting some new areas close to me as well
 
But no matter what, I didnt spread corn and such out to draw them in.
I can say I left my garden up and did throw garden leftouvers into the woods, but didnt hunt over it or around it when i did go out
 
I don't have any excuse. I know its illegal, I know that some of you wouldn't think of baiting, others have access to leases and farms have the means to plant food plots. For me, deer hunting was fun when I baited. I saw deer and I don't see who or what baiting is hurting. I was able to provide several needy families with deer meat over the years.
 
A mans got to do, what a mans got to do...... Baiting is of no issue to me..... but I am sure it goes on more than anybody on here knows about....
 
ah, you will be fine, just pay the ticket and get back in the woods, I knew three guys who all got ticketed a few years ago and they never missed a weekend of hunting.
